Don't confuse yourself. The JVC is not a 'quality' product, it's a cheap product. It shuts down because it can't sustain the load you are putting on it for the length of time you want to. I think that these manufacturers may find themselves in a class-action lawsuit at some point for their claims which simply can't be realized, but for the majority of consumers, who don't crank their speakers, the power output of a typical A/V receiver is plenty.
Of course, you don't know, when you crank things up, exactly how much power the receiver is putting out or what the draw is.
Perhaps you are requesting 125 watts of power. The receiver is NOT limited to 100 watts. It can do more. If you demand more than 100 watts per channel at any time, and then play it as sustained volume, then you are over-driving the amplifier and it shuts down to protect itself.
Unless you have some way to measure the current draw, you don't really have a good way to know how much power you are demanding as you turn the volume up. I'm not sure you are or are not requesting more than 100 watts, but without knowing, by metering the load, you really can't repost the manufacturers specifications. It may just be a case where you need more power, and more reliable power, from a dedicated amplifier so you can turn things up.
Plenty of amplifier options out there, but most aren't inexpensive for good clean power.
